Incomplete

Mother,
Father,
Look at your little monster
I’m a hero
I’m a zero
I’m the butt of the worst joke in history
I’m a lock without a key
a city with no door
a prayer without faith
a show without a score
I’m a bad word
a wink, a nod, a shiver
an untold story, sex without fury
a creeping gray memory
I am
Incomplete, incomplete, incomplete
Incomplete
Doctor
Cure me
What is the cause of my condition?
This madness shoots me
Like bullets smashing glass in a silent movie
I’m a trap without a spring,
a temple with no god,
a jack without an ace,
the tip of your tounge
I’m a promise and an unmailed letter
an unbuilt motor, deck without a joker
a creeping gray memory
I am
Incomplete, incomplete, incomplete
Incomplete
Tell Saint Peter not to bet on me
I am a naked obsession
a good intention gone bad
I am
Incomplete, incomplete, incomplete
Incomplete
Incomplete, incomplete, incomplete…
